,

Since you are trying out HC cream, why not apply the cream to the

itchy areas? Double whammy from the same dose.

, are you sure you aren't using too much? I used mine with measuring

spoons and 10 mg is 1/4 teaspoon which is hardly anything. I rub it on my

shins and it absorbs quickly.

Re: Arm itching very badly at times

Thought of that too Sol. Do you find that rubbing in 10mg worth of

cream is a lot? I had to smear that stuff all over the place. I just

ordered a scale, BTW, because I don't trust the dosing syringe either.

I only apply it over large areas, such as abdomen, trunk, hips,

sometimes front of thighs. If I needed to apply it on forearms, I'd put

just part of a dose. Maybe it is because of the large areas I use, or

because my skin is so dry, but my skin just sucks it up. Unfortunately,

I have a rather lot of abdomen on which to apply it, LOL. I can see it

would take a bit of concnetrated rubbing to get a whole quarter teaspoon

into one forearm.

FWIW, my reason for abdomen/trunk is because that is where I get eczema.

I've also put some on the bony area of my ankle, because I get itchies

there too. So if I feel an itch at all, I put the next dose of cream

where the itch is. I've had eczema and hives so bad that I admit I am

completely paranoid about the least bit of a transient itch. Because

eczema is " the itch that rashes " .

Aside from all the above, I have itchy forearms a lot. It usually means

I'm getting more iodine than I can handle, but can also mean I've gotten

too much of another of my allergens. Extra antihistamine usually helps.

I will be interested to know how you like the scale. Right now, my

pennies are going to save up for aldosterone/renin tests and more

antibody testing for Hashi's. I just this morning got a lead on a doctor

who might do them.

causing it. They drive me mad.

I am coming in late on this thread so forgive me if I do not have the full

grasp of the situatiion.

I was just wondering if it would be helpful for symptomatic relief to use an

antihistamine?

Val,

I have this same thing also. Little bumps on the top of my arms. Sometimes

some of them are like zits but most small and itchy. I use soap from the

health food store. Dosen't matter what I use they are still there. Bernetta

-- Re: Arm itching very badly at times

Just want to say that I also have very itchy upper arms & often across the

top of my back as well. They sometimes feel a little lumpy but generally

just itch. It is always worse when I get into bed, & sometimes during the

evening as well. I am very careful with washing machine liquid & do not use

the supermarket stuff, so it is not that causing it. They drive me mad.

It isn't all the time, but I don't know about the thyroid levels

because I am concentrating on getting my temps stable before I start

changing my thyroid meds.
